Loch Long field notes

the mortal wound and the portal to Loch Lomond

the Viking blood created from bloodshed

the washed up mussel shells and people plastic

headless bobble hats, handless gloves

swung-flung black pouches of pooch poop

giant rams that look like norse warriors

would I rather the next waymarker present a man or a bear

a wild cat that was tame, a friend turn into foe?

I carried my boat for as long as the Oban train would let me

my legs are short, the loch is long, Loch Long
